The Atlas of Emotions.
What gets named gets understood. What gets understood gets metabolised. A library of cards, exercises and stories — in the languages of Luxembourg classrooms.

One word, one story
Froumat — the joy of sharing someone else's happiness.
Luxembourgish carries emotional precision that English doesn't have a word for. Teaching children their cultural language of feeling is a quiet act of belonging — and it works on adults too.

Universal facts up top. Luxembourg-specific curriculum alignment and full programme details live in expandable sections — so directors abroad and reviewers in Luxembourg both find what they need without scrolling past noise.
- What it is
- A multilingual emotional literacy library — cards, exercises and stories — that helps children name what they feel. Built around culturally specific emotional vocabulary (including Luxembourgish words such as Froumat, the joy of sharing someone else's happiness), the Atlas turns feelings into language, and language into self-knowledge.
- Learning objectives
- Understand that emotions are signals, not identities.
- Recognise nuanced feelings beyond happy/sad/angry across multiple languages.
- Apply naming-the-feeling techniques to regulate emotional intensity.
- Explain how cultural language shapes emotional experience and belonging.

Evidence & framework
Grounded in positive psychology.
The Atlas is the entry point of our flourishing system. Emotional vocabulary is the first protective factor we can teach — and the foundation everything else (resilience, purpose, belonging) is built on.
- Pre/post emotional vocabulary growth tracked per child
- Maps to Harvard Flourishing — meaning, relationships, character
- Used in classrooms today across Luxembourg schools
- Designed with educators, families and child psychologists
